How it works

When to use it

Fax Only

(automatic receive)

The machine 
automatically answers 
every call as a fax.

For dedicated fax lines.

Fax/Tel

(fax and telephone)

(with an external or 
extension telephone 
only)

The machine controls the 
line and automatically 
answers every call. If the 
call is a fax it will receive 
the fax. If the call is not a 
fax it will ring 
(pseudo/double ring) for 
you to pick up the call.

Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax 
messages and few telephone calls. You cannot use 
an answering machine on the same line, even if it is 
on a separate wall jack on the same line. You cannot 
use the telephone company's Voice Mail in this 
mode.

External TAD

(with an external 
answering device only)

The external answering 
device (TAD) 
automatically answers 
every call. 

Voice messages are 
stored on the external 
TAD. If it is a fax call, the 
machine receives the fax.

Use this mode if you want to use an answering 
machine connected to your machine.

The External TAD setting works only with an 
external answering machine. Ring Delay does not 
work in this setting.

Manual

(manual receive)

(with an external or 
extension telephone 
only)

You control the phone line 
and must answer every 
call yourself.

Use this mode if you do not receive many fax 
messages, use Distinctive Ring, or if you are using a 
computer on the same line.

If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the 
machine takes over the call, then hang up. (See 

Easy Receive

 on page 36.)
